Ben Sachs

This dreary independent drama is essentially an art-world soap opera, but without the melodramatic verve that makes some soap operas interesting.

Roger Ebert

What we have here is a household ripe with seduction, lust, betrayal and repression, all kept below the surface by increasingly strained good manners.

Amanda Mae Meyncke

...a self-important nightmare ... shallow script and boring situations. Perhaps that is the simplest way to sum up the film, boring. Offensively boring.

Walter V. Addiego

The direction is decent, and the film is handsome. But it's finally frustrating, enigmatic in a way that suggests emptiness more than mystery.

Kyle Smith

[A] lackluster indie drama ...

Stephen Holden

You feel the characters' pangs as they spin out of control, and you are reminded of how easy it is for a careless sexual adventurer to destroy relationships and families on a whim, without even fully realizing it.
